Isotretinoin (Accutane) Before Pregnancy

I've been off of Claravis, another brand of Accutane, for 8 weeks now. The warnings for the medicine say to wait one month before TTC but my derm suggested three months to be on the safe side. Has anyone else taken Accutane or a similar brand before trying to conceive? Any suggestions on how long to wait? It's been hard to find direct answers online.

I've taken accutane worked wonders. I had the Mirena at the time but I'd listen to the dr with such strick guidelines your under (in regards to pg) I know it's not safe for a baby & does cause severe birth defects. So just for piece if mind I'd wait at least 3 mos.

I'd wait at least three months. I took it several years ago and have now MCed twice. I doubt the two are related but just for piece of mind I'd give yourself as much time as possible. Accutane didn't do much for me anyway, I wish I never took it.Â
